Build a career where performance and culture go hand in hand

At Octagon Group, we take what we do seriously — but not ourselves.

We work with high-performing technology and engineering businesses across the UK, US and Europe. That means we operate with pace, focus and high standards. We expect effort, ownership and consistency. In return, you’ll build real expertise, earn strong rewards, and be part of a team that genuinely enjoys working together.

We believe in a culture that combines ambition with energy — where people push themselves professionally and enjoy the journey along the way.

The Octagon culture

Driven. Supportive. Competitive in the right way.

We operate in a high-performance environment. That means:
  • Clear expectations
  • Accountability
  • Measurable results
  • Reward for effort and consistency
But it also means:
  • Team wins celebrated properly
  • Regular social events
  • Shared milestones
  • A workplace that feels alive
We work hard, and we enjoy the rewards of doing it well.

What you can expect

Time to recharge

Your balance is important to us.

  • 25 days of annual leave, increasing to 28 days with service
  • Bank holidays on top
  • Incentives that can include performance-based holidays

Rest matters when performance matters.

Hybrid and flexible working

We believe in results, not presenteeism.

  • Hybrid working model
  • Flexible hours
  • Trust-based approach to performance

You’re measured on output and contribution, not how long you sit at a desk.

Rewards and incentives

Performance is recognised and rewarded properly.

  • Competitive commission structure
  • Consistency bonuses
  • Company-wide performance incentives

When the business wins, the team wins.

A team that connects

Culture isn’t a buzzword here, it’s visible.

  • Monthly team breakfasts
  • Quarterly socials
  • Celebrations of milestones and achievements

We value strong relationships because recruitment is a team sport.

Training and development

Growth is non-negotiable.

  • Structured internal training
  • External development opportunities
  • Ongoing coaching and mentorship
  • Clear progression pathways

Whether you’re new to recruitment or building toward leadership, you’ll be supported to develop real expertise in your market.

Who thrives at Octagon?

People who:

  • Take ownership
  • Enjoy being measured on performance
  • Want to build specialist knowledge
  • Value teamwork over ego
  • See recruitment as a long-term career, not a short-term job

     

If you want somewhere comfortable, this probably isn’t it. If you want somewhere ambitious, energising and rewarding, you’ll fit in well.
